SSP called Haruka Kirishima, a woman with precognition abilities for an interview and wished to her abilities to use but refused due to it being a burden since her childhood. Gai visited her (who knows of his identity as Ultraman Orb) and advise her to move on, as well as revealing his own past. She predicted of a monster named Hoe attacking the city and Gai/Ultraman Orb defeated from its attack. The next day during Hoe's attack, Haruka prevented Gai from transforming but was soon revealed that Hoe is in fact her own creation from the sorrows of her abilities. While Ultraman Orb was fighting the monster, Naomi and Gais words managed to make Haruka moving on and saved Orb from his fated defeat, therefore weakening Hoe long enough for the Ultra Warrior to finish him. The next day, she thanked Naomi and Gai before revealing to the latter of an "ominous" dream she had on him.

The Planetary Invasion Syndicate has called upon Alien Babarue Babaryu to impersonate Ultraman Orb and ruin his reputation as Earth's savior. But while Babaryu tried to do so, the spontaneous appearance of a Telesdon ruined the plan and left Babaryu to fend for himself. During that time, he accidentally shielded the children from Telesdon before the monster got away and him retreating in his human. By mistake, Jetta believed him as the real Orb and had him played with several children. When the Planetary Invasion Syndicate ordered Babaryu to resume his activity, he refused due to his time as a human gave him a change of heart and fought a Cherubim summoned by Jugglus before the real Orb appeared and destroy it. Although exposed as an impostor, Babaryu was thanked by Jetta and several children before he disappeared and was revealed to have restart his new life as a cleaner.

Nostra strikes a deal with Jugglus to defeat Ultraman Orb and took his Ultra Fusion Cards in exchange of Belial's card. Jugglus challenged Gai in a one-on-one match the next day and summoned Black King to fight Orb before he was killed by Nagus, who was revealed to have sent by Nostra to assassinate Jugglus for his Monster Cards. Orb quickly finished Black King after that and while the Planetary Invasion Syndicate celebrated their victory, Jugglus revealed to have survived via Bemstar's card and quickly killed Nagus, later Nostra in his true form. Now in possession of Belial's card, Jugglus laughs as he now has a complete collection.

During that time, Jugglus appeared as well to reveal the King Demon Beast Monster Cards he had and thanked Gai for his "help" with Princess Tamayura appeared as well to warn Gai of a new threat. When rushing towards the forbidden forest, Gai had a short scuffle with Jugglus before the latter used his King Demon Beast and Belial's cards to awaken Maga-Orochi. Ultraman Orb tries to stop the monster in all of his forms but was defeated. With Gai laid unconscious, Jugglus took his Ultra Fusion Cards and gloated over his victory.

With Gai's possession of Ultra Fusion Cards being stolen, he is left defenseless with Maga-Orochi, who was previously sleeping awakens and tries to continue rampaging the urban area. Accompanied by Naomi's mother, SSP rushed to the forbidden forest and re-combine the previously shattered headstone of Tamayura. The princess emerged from Keiko's plant and rushes to Gai, providing him with Zoffy and Belial's cards. With Gai unable to use Belial, she purposely lower her defenses and for Maga-Orochi to eliminate her, causing Belial to finally cooperate with a vengeful Gai and transforms into Ultraman Orb. As Thunder Breastar, Orb violently attacked Maga-Orochi before defeating it with Zettium Ray. Jugglus, who was enraged that Gai managed to win again reluctantly return his cards and warns the wanderer that the two of them are no longer different.

SSP cleans up their office and recalled events from past episodes. Gai and Shibukawa eventually joined them, with Tarude, the last surviving member of Planetary Invasion Syndicate recalled of how Jugglus killed Nostra and Nagus in hopes of using Belial's card, which eventually fall into Gai's possession. He soon cursed Jugglus for killing his comrades.

Gai was forced to take the job of SSP's cameraman after Shin went off in his part time job at the Kofune Manufacturing. While its workers were taking a break, a strange robot (later named Galactron by Naomi) fell from the sky. The workers and VTL Squad decided to analyze the robot but the next day, it awakened and captured Naomi as it went on a rampaging spree to cleanse the Earth from its errors. Orb tries to fight the robot and save Naomi but was quickly defeated.

Following Orb's defeat by Galactron, the robot warned the Ultra not to interfere with its job before he reduced to his human form Gai. With means of negotiations being useless, VTL Squad start to take on countermeasures. Seeing how destructive Galactron has become, Gai had no choice but to use Thunder Breastar again. The Ultraman not only take a brutal payback towards Galactron but also attacked a nearby Z-VTOL and had almost killed Naomi after destroying it. With Naomi hospitalized, Gai rushed to her side and commenced that he and the rest of her friends would never forgive Orb for his actions. As Shin fells into depression, Soichi advises him not to let his depression over him and to move on. Picking up Belial's card, Gai wonders if he is worthy of such power.

Sometime later, Naomi slowly recovers from her injuries but the news of her being Galactron's victim caught the attention of multiple newscaster. Apart from that, Orb's notoriety in both knocking out a Z-VTOL and inability to save Naomi earn him a notoriety in the public. While visiting Naomi, Jetta and Shin revealed her of a footage from a mysterious explosion in Rusalka 108 years ago from a mysterious explosion, hinting that aside from Orb, other Ultraman existed. It was also then where Keiko revealed to Naomi of her great-great-grandmother originated from Rusalka before migrating to Japan. Gai visited Rusalka and recollected the events from 108 years prior where he was saved by Natasha, a girl he soon befriended until she died in a crossfire between Ultraman Orb and Maga-Zetton. Juggler expected Gai's arrival and revealed Maga-Orochi's tail that Orb as Thunder Breastar yanked off a long time ago to combine it with the cards of Zetton and Pandon, forming Zeppandon. Orb faced this monster but to no avail as Juggler coerce him to use Belial's power again. Still refusing Thunder Breastar's power, he used Burnmite's Stobium Dynamite and escape the battle, meeting Natasha's spirit, who transformed into Naomi's look-alike to give Gai a blank card before leaving. Meanwhile in Japan, Juggler made his way to Naomi's ward.

Gai was able to save Naomi moments before Jugglus assassinate her. Taking shelter in a warehouse, Gai discovers from Naomi's salvaged matryoshka that Natasha survived the explosion in Rusalka and moved to Japan, with Naomi was revealed to be her descendant. While VTL Squad labels Orb as a public enemy, Juggler brought Zeppandon and challenged Gai again. Having no longer fear of darkness, Gai utilizes Thunder Breastar in full control and fought Zeppandon despite being targets of Z-VTOL squadron. Naomi bravely approached Orb and declared that she has no fear for him and thanks the giant for saving her before. As Zeppandon open fires at Orb, the Ultra shielded the SSP members, allowing him to regain his reputation. Naomi hums Gai's melody for him to regain faith on himself and finally helping Orb regains his true form, Orb Origin. Zeppandon was defeated by the Ultraman's new strength and caused Juggler to lose his Dark Ring.

To help Shibukawa mend his relationship with his daughter Tetsuko, SSP brought her along to spy on Shibukawa's work. Seeing Shibukawa facing her boyfriend Takahiro, Tetsuko emerged and lashed her father before the man revealed himself as Alien Shaplay and stole her energies to empower his Bemular. Gai as Orb faced the monster while Shibukawa faced Shaplay and wins by luring him into oil canister to blow him. In the end, it seemed that Shibukawa's relation with his daughter improved and Alien Shaplay managed to survive the explosion before he was killed by Juggler.

After being humiliated by several guests at Yoko's engagement ceremony, Naomi accidentally awakened Renki with her jealousy over her own friend. Realising what she had done, Naomi, SSP and Shibukawa tried to cancel her wedding and it took Renki's own arrival to convince the guests. As Orb fought the giant ghost, Naomi managed to speak with Renki, allowing him to surrender himself and peacefully disappeared.

In hopes of avenging the Planetary Invasion Syndicate, Tarude attacked Juggler before Gai's intervention allowed his nemesis to get away, being tended by Naomi when the two bumped to each others by chance. His saucer caught the attention of SSP and Shibukawa to investigate it and Tarude warned Gai not to interfere in his conquest for vengeance again but the latter refused when Naomi's life also put in danger. This caused Tarude and Orb to battle at the city's dusk skyline and trading blows with each others before the giant hero killed the alien. Juggler left Naomi after he reclaimed his stolen Katana and mentioned that a great darkness is sleeping beneath the Earth.

Ever since the last months, the sightings of Hyper Zetton Deathscythe and a mysterious blue-ribboned girl circulates around the internet. Tracking their current location to the elderly Iwaki couple household, SSP soon discovered Hyper Zetton on the city's skyline and spotted the same girl fighting with Gai again before she loses consciousness and the monster disappeared. While mysterious girl Maya returned to the Iwaki household, SSP and Shibukawa learns of their connection quickly and Gai visited their house again. During that time, she attacked Gai and revealed herself to be artificial life form made from Alien Zetton Maddock, but the alien's consciousness were overloaded with memories of Gai and Naomi causing Maya's original self to continuously rebelling his will. While Ultraman Orb fought against Deathscythe, Maya managed to destroy Maddock and her controller bracelet at the cost of her own memories. This allows Deathscythe to be weakened for Orb Thunder Breastar to destroy it. After the battle, Maya was reawakened with no memories of her encounter with the Iwake couple and decided to travel around the world while promising to return someday.

When news of the mysterious Café Black Star reach SSP, they decided to investigate it but was forced to exit when they tried to investigate more about it. Later it was revealed that the café was solely meant for non-human beings, and that Gai and Juggler were among his regular customers. When its owner Manager Black closed it and tried to peacefully leave the Earth, his partner Nova refused to let go of their unfulfilled ambition to invade the Earth and rampaged across the city, with Manager Black joined in, revealed to be the Black Directive. Orb fought Nova and managed to destroy it, leaving Black Directive as the sole survivor until Gai console his grief over Nova's loss, telling that he still have his customers that liked him.
